Spa and Heading Back - Brussels and Aachen
Spa and Heading Back
Monday 21st January 2008
Last day of our trip - visited the Carolus Thermen spa in Aachen in the morning, headed back to Brussels in the afternoon, and had dinner there before getting on the Eurostar back to London.

|
| 12:11:07 Chie outside the Carolus Thermen spa complex after we'd spent a very pleasant our or two lounging around in the thermal waters there. | 12:14:17 Just in case there was any confusion! | 12:38:56 Headed back to the station by way of the centre of Aachen again - here's the town hall once more. |
|
|
|
| 12:45:59 We decided to have lunch in the Ratskeller - where superbly they serve Kolsch. | 12:46:06 Nice and quaint inside. | 12:46:14 Me enjoying the Kolsch. |
|
|
|
| 13:05:14 Chie's very German lunch in the Ratskeller. | 13:57:02 Last thing on the to do list was to taste the spa waters - so here's Chie having a go at the communal pump. | 13:57:55 Some trivia about the chemical composition of the water. |

|
| 13:58:00 Close-up on the little spout. | 14:11:00 Back to Aachen Hauptbahnof... | 14:27:53 ....and the train that would take us back to Brussels again. |
|
|
|
| 17:43:05 Chie wanted to have Moules-Frites for our last meal in Brussels, which we found at this cafe by Theatre Royal de la Monnaie. | 18:23:09 Me and a couple of krieks. | 18:23:17 Can see the name of the place here too - Cafe de L'Opera. |
|
|
|
| 18:49:44 Outside Cafe de L'Opera. | 19:10:30 Chie rather liked this picture of Tintin at Brussels Midi station. | 20:27:54 On the Eurostar on the way back to London now. |
|
|
|
| 21:29:25 Chie bought these sweets which she seemed rather taken by. | 21:29:51 I guess Kersen is Flemish for cherries? | 21:30:05 Chie had control of the camera now and set about some taking some weird pointless pictures (our train was delayed, after all). |
|
| |
| 21:30:13 Hmmmm.... | 21:30:36 ....ok stop now! |
